        %x: CheckPreviousDocuments(previousDocuments($o) == false)
    then

end

can anyone please help me.. thanks in advance

Answer 1

Your code is somewhat unusual, but thus rule should do. Note that I have used Document as the type for the elements in the list returned by GovernmentAgencyGoodsItem.getDocuments().

rule atLeastOne
when
    $gs: GoodsShipment()
    List( size > 0 )
    from accumulate ( $gi: GoodsItem() from $gs.getGoodsItems() and
                      $d: Document() from $gi.getDocuments();
                      collectList( $d ) )
then
    // $gs contains at least one Document
end
